Irish Twitter users brutally reject Piers Morgan – after he claims to be one of them

TV Presenter and journalist Piers Morgan has angered Irish people on Twitter – by claiming to be one of them.

The confrontational star has a way of rubbing people up the wrong way which led to him being rejected by Irish Twitter users in a brilliantly brutal fashion.

The trouble started when Morgan was in the middle of upsetting somebody else. Morgan was defending Donald Trump who had come under criticism from author JK Rowling for failing to shake a young boy’s hand.

Morgan tweeted a screenshot of a quote from the boy’s mother who said that Rowling had got the wrong end of the stick.

It all seems fair enough, but the thing about Morgan is that many people just can’t seem to stand the self-satisfied way he goes about proving people wrong.

One person tweeted to him: “There is nothing quite so annoying in this world as a smug Englishman.”

Morgan’s rather smug two-word reply was: “I’m Irish.”

Morgan’s father came from Co Galway so he is eligible to claim Irish nationality. However, the Twitter users of Ireland were not thrilled at the news.
